Jon Faddis: Dizzy Gillespie & Roy Eldridge, Soul Mates
Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge Soul Mates (Verve, 1954)
"I remember getting this as a present from my sister on my 11th birthday and I just remember how excited I was.
I listened to that record thousands of times. It wasn't my first Dizzy Gillespie record but I think it was one of the most important because I couldn't stop listening to it. Dizzy-Roy back and forth, Dizzy-Roy back and forth.
So, there you have it!"
